The name Obadiah has its roots in the Indo-European languague spoken in north-central Anatolia.
It means "One who kills lizards."
During the 18th century BC, it was common for reptiles, usually lizards, to invade clay brick homes during cold winter months.
Ridding one's house of reptiles followed the ritual pattern of Discovery, Declaration and Death.
Once a reptile was discovered in the house, the exterminator would exclaim, "Oh!" This was followed by the declaration that the reptile, being an uninvited guest, was "Bad!" The consequence, then, was to "Die!"
After the Syrian invasion, the syllable "ah" was added to various words as a way to acknowledge that all things good and useful flow from Allah. Consequently, OhBadDie became OhBadDie-Ah, which later evolved into the modern day "Obadiah."

Get the Obadiah mug.The Obedience Fanatic works from the base of a theory which has almost no proven basis in reality-that the government line of events is unquestionably true, and that anyone who questions it is mentally unbalanced. Despite all the lies and cover-ups perpetrated by governments and the powers that be over the centuries, people have always existed who are so steadfast in their trust that all government versions of events are definitive and undeniable that it borders on mental illness.
The Obedience Fanatic has become more prominent recently with the debate over the whether the official version of the events of 9/11 is true or not. There are many people asking questions, yet the Obedience Fanatic simply dismisses questions about the official version out of hand, and labels doubters as lunatics.
